Fundraiser started for father of two who drowned while tubing in Lower Mainland river

A GoFundMe has been set up for a father of two who drowned trying to help his son after the tube they were floating in flipped in a Maple Ridge river.Mohamed Razi, whose mother was a cousin to Junaideen, and whom Razi considered an uncle, has started a fundraising campaign for Junaideen’s wife Farzana, and their two sons Nabeel, 12, and Zaid, nine.

“He still doesn’t seem to understand the enormity of the situation, obviously, because of his age,” Razi said.On the GoFundMe page Razi recounted the day on Sunday, July 31, when Junaideen went tubing with his family in the Davidson’s Pool area along the Alouette River. “The river was full of people having fun and Bakir was the first from his group to start tubing with his youngest son, Zaid,” said Razi recounted on the GoFundMe page.At first, he said, it was fun moving through the rapids and rocks until Zaid’s tube capsized. Junaideen instantly jumped into the river to rescue his son.
